It is correct that there are also Murano weights with 1848 fake canes around, but these canes look different. The date canes looking like a Leibniz waterbiscuit are Dupont. Also the other canes are Dupont, not Murano.

that's great news, thanks for your guys replies and help , I shall pass all onto owner

That's another point of discussion: some people defend this (usually in connection with Murano items) as "commemorative dates" (grandmother's year of birth and the like) ... to be honest: I call them fakes .
